The coveted Vimeo Staff Picks.\u00a0<\/strong>Having your\u00a0film or video project Staff Picked by the folks at Vimeo immediately puts it out in front of a massive audience. The types of videos chosen as Staff Picks are wide ranging – music videos, animations, documentaries, branded content. Trying to get your video picked can seem overwhelming – is there even a science to it?<\/p>\n We examined other projects that have received this ‘award’ and talked with other filmmakers and video producers who’ve\u00a0previously been picked. Through this research we’ve come up with 5 quick tips that we feel will help you inch ever closer to gaining that most coveted of seals.<\/p>\n I recently sat in on a conversation with filmmaker Evan Burns<\/a> who was staff picked for his documentary film The Junk King<\/em><\/a>. One of the things he mentioned in our discussion was that concept is king<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This may be a no-brainer to seasoned pros, but it\u00a0is a statement that bares repeating. All of the other tips that we give you from here on out won’t amount to anything if you don’t have a solid and unique<\/em> concept. Take Evan’s The Junk King<\/em> – he went into this film\u00a0not knowing everything he was going to capture (which is often the case with documentary). But he had a very interesting ‘character’ and a fascinating\u00a0subject. The concept was strong from the start.<\/p>\n Like the story of\u00a0The Junk King,\u00a0<\/em>it seems that many Vimeo Staff Picks are well crafted stories about distinctive\u00a0individuals and subjects.<\/p>\nSolid Concepts<\/h3>\n
